How to End Arthritis Pain in 2024!

- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2024
- If you’re suffering from arthritis, you need to make one change in your life. In this video, I share a transformative case of a patient with severe knee osteoarthritis. Initially, the patient tried numerous treatments, including physical therapy, chiropractic care, injections, and medications, but still faced debilitating pain. The turning point came when she focused on her diet and weight management. She eliminated processed meats, fried and processed foods, and significantly reduced added sugars, opting for a healthier diet rich in fish, vegetables, nuts, and natural sugars from fruits. This dietary change, coupled with regular walking and strength training, particularly targeting the quadriceps and gluteal muscles, led to significant weight loss and reduced knee pain. Dr. Peng emphasizes that osteoarthritis is not just a wear-and-tear disease but also a metabolic one. Managing arthritis effectively requires addressing these metabolic factors, including weight, diet, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. He advises others with knee arthritis to adopt similar lifestyle changes to improve their joint health and overall metabolic balance, promising a significant reduction in pain and enhanced joint function.

Hi there!
I've scoured internet finding any topics relating to PCL. ACL has always been the more studied ligament and left PCL to dust when it comes to data.
For info, I suffered a grade II PCL tear recently with about 20% still intact. My ortho suggested PRP to treat the injury as he's not keen on doing surgery.
About a week has passed and progress has been slow but promising. I started to walk without much instability already and its just getting better.
My ask is if you can provide/educate people about PRP to ligament tears and how effective it is to "heal" the tear.
I'm a 45M who was diagnosed with right knee OA two months ago. Never have I been more focused on something as I have been on beating this.
I've been fighting back ever since from all angles....diet, mobility, strength training, supplementation, and later this year I think I'm going to give PRP a try.
I'm going to report back here one day and tell you how I'm thriving.
I am 54 and have OA on left knee. So happy you have shared this doc. I plan to change my diet and I believe I will bring the pain down and mobility improvement. Very helpful. Thanks.
I’m 5’6”, 125 lbs, runner for 25 years, even so there is great force going through my bad knee on any footfall. I’ve had gel injections in the past, and am now 5 weeks post PRP with no running post injection. I’ve been cycling daily and have done strength training for upper body, legs and knee strength. Yoga is also very good for total body balance and function. But the most significant thing I’ve done to decrease pain and feel healing is eliminate all grain, every bit of it. I eat sweet potatoes for breakfast. No processed food ever. Amazing result without all that inflammatory crappy grain in my diet! I miss bagels 😂 but I’m never going back, the change is incredible. Also try adding a collagen powder to your intake. Arthritis loves a dirty diet, I feel like I’m starving it with these changes.
Motivating video 👍🏻
I like that you are standing and not sitting making videos, I am trying to avoid sitting during the day, strengthening my muscles and my posture! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Once more, thank you Dr. Peng.....
Solid advice. Thanks!
Thanks dr..
Long live Dr Jeff Peng! Love you Dr. What an amazing and positive vibe video. You have infused in us a biggest blessing - "hope"
i’m a huge meat eater as to why i developed psoriatic arthritis. and i was bedridden for almost 3 months since both of my hands, feet and left knee are affected. I tried eating WFPB and the pain reduces for like 50%. and i can now walk but limping. My psoriasis is dry as well. And also, my dad died from heart attack due to the said diet (meat)
Thank you so much ❤
You're very welcome!
Great story. Thanks

Well said Dr. Peng. Lifestyle plays a crucial role in managing arthritis, yet it is often overlooked. I constantly emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach that includes physical therapy, dietary habits, and stress management as the number one treatment for arthritis.
Arthritis can greatly impact one's quality of life, but by addressing all aspects of lifestyle, we can greatly improve symptoms and overall well-being. Physical therapy helps strengthen and support the joints, while adopting a healthy diet can reduce inflammation and contribute to joint health. Additionally, managing stress is essential, as it can exacerbate arthritis symptoms.
I encourage my patients to prioritize these lifestyle factors alongside the injections like prp, cortisone or viscosupplementation.
100%
Tq soo much doctor.. i too will try d same👍
Good luck!
Great video. The power of lifestyle changes should never be underestimated!
100%!
Wish I cna have consultation with you doc but I’m from the Phil.
Do you have any rehab protocols for knee chondroplasty? I had this 3 weeks ago for a full-thickness cartilage defect of the lateral trochlea. I'd greatly appreciate your advice.
Also how long after would you recommend any injections? I've previously tried 2 PRP injections + Ha.
I’m at that stage looking at a 2nd knee replacement and I need to make changes like this to avoid. Sadly I know what I should do but getting started seems difficult much to my frustration, it is a vicious circle for me, food is one of my main pleasures in life, I eat good quality foods but since exercise causes such pain and steroid injections & oral analgesia unfortunately have not worked I don’t burn the calories.
😢 I'm in the same boat. it's so hard. I'm a nurse 62, and I start and stop. Can't exercise because of the pain. Can't work certain jobs anymore because of the pain . Been on dozen of diets in my 20,30and 40s with success and now at 62 its soooooo hard to keep following thru.
@@appleredhead3654 I feel for you, I’m a retired midwife, retired when I was 60 and didn’t expect this as a retirement gift 😊
Hey Jeffrey,
Beautifully shown and explained everything in the video, right now i am in between the innerstanding whether it is Minescus or Arhritis. 5 months back i started to meditate cross legged with the right leg on the left thigh, though the hips were not open then all the rotative movement came from the knee which resulted in massive pain which i thought to be normal at then until due time the pain progressed to the point where i cant sitt cross legged without pain. Now my hips are open and everything is perfect with posture except the knees which is preventing me from cross-legged posture. How could i make sure the difference as the pain is in both inside of the knee, on the left and sometimes right. I am really looking forward to getting back to be able to sit in that posture for my sadhana and i was thinking maybe you could say something of this. Thanks!

The swelling and stress on knee is felt when full contraction is done, and some physical movements also lead to me feeling a little pain on the left side of the knee. Right now this is occuring on both knees as i had switched to the different leg when the pain got worse. Looking back at this now of course im scratching my head and wondering why i was doing this but things happen.
Dr Peng I have watched all of your videos, and learned so much. I have pain on one knee, I did a prp injection it worked for 6 months, second injection, didn't, pain comes and goes, but bu the pain is lower. One method i discovered and almost eliminates totally the pain is to put on my knees grounded electrodes I made myself, 30 -60 min or more, pain goes away but inflammation after a day or so appears again. At least I found a way reduce it. Now this "new approach " I read recently in the books of Dr William Davis, removing sugar, bread completely from a diet, possibly inflammation is eliminated, also to use the microbe to make yogurt L. Reuteri that will be a huge game changer. .

Yes Sugar is the silent killer

I've been pretty strict keto for over three years, it has done nothing to help my knee. I started using my bowflex extreme again since September. Now my shoulders hurt pretty bad too, I've had to quite the bowflex, I'm74. My blood work shows that I'm metabolically healthy, 6ft tall, 160 lbs.
Join a Yoga class. Also find a suitable Ayurvedic oil for massage.
Exactly like me. I will try this, but I'm not overweight.
Good luck!
I have severe arthritis in my right knee, mild in my left knee. I've never been overweight and eat well. Unfortunately, I can no longer take Ibuprofen. Walking does help a little. I go on 6 mile walks 5 days a week. But I still have a lot of pain in my knee due one addiction - basketball. I'm 56 but I don't think my knee will last until 60.
Great exercise! Don't forget about strength training, very underrated part of living an athletic life
I'm so mad you said weight loss because I'm thin slightly muscular and it's showing up everywhere including my feet .
Even slim people can suffer from high blood sugar or chronic inflammation triggered a processed food diet.
The wholefood colourful vegetables rich diet is ideal with Omega 3 rich sources and plenty of lean protein.
Herbs and spices can reduce pain.
Collagen type 1, 2 and 3 can help too 😊
Sorry, obviously this is exact scenario does not apply to everyone. With that said, inflammatory foods 100% do apply to everyone.
What you eat Can make a difference in pain level, irregardless of weight. I am not heavy either. I'm a stickler for a good diet - except I fell off that wagon during the holidays. And I'm feeling it.
So mad…😂
what about prp?
I recommend PRP to pretty much everyone with knee osteoarthritis.
It’s crazy to think what we eat can do so much damage! I wish we had no options for processed meats and no treats lol
The occasional treat is totally fine, they just shouldn't be a daily thing
Hi sir my took antidepressants can she do prp knee treatment...once my mom get steroid injection then her health get bad
Do you have stories about hip osteoarthritis please?
Yea, they are exactly the same as knee osteoarthritis! The treatment plan is 100% the same.
My hobby is bodybuilding. Does muscle weight add to the knee stress?
Nope. They help protect your knees!
My weight is currently 120 lbs. Would further weight loss help me lose arthritis pain? How far should I go?
Depends on height and lots of other factors. Focus on cleaning up the diet and your weight will normalize
what are "unneccessary carbohydrates"? Is this about low-carb? So the less, the better?
Sugar, honey, potatoes, pasta, fruit (except berries), dairy. If you do have some fruit or dairy have it after eating fats & vegetables to reduce insulin spikes.
@@45graham45 Bingo! I agree. Keep daily carbohydrates under 30 grams. Then under 20 grams. It working for me.
@@fiddlerJohn You mean, you got your arthritis under control that way?
Processed sugars and added sugars. Carbs from fruits and vegetables are fine
@@cartmansuperstar Yes! My right hip was replaced and then my left and lower back got even worst. After a few years on very low carb I stood up to show my Dr. where it hurt AND I was shocked. NO PAIN. I couldn't believe it. No pain anywhere. Wow! A week later I ate a cup of butternut squash and a few other carbs each day for 2 days. The third day my arthritis was back. Not too bad, but still bad. Never again. My body says "stay low carb."
Ku ta shikoj SHQIP?
This is true but eventually osteoarthritis does need TKR and don’t wait till you get too old cause recovery takes longer the older you are
In my experience, this is just not true. Not everyone needs TKR. Many people who are unsuccessful in a SERIOUS trial of conservative management do end up with TKR. But many others who are serious about making changes to their life can outright avoid surgery. Strength training is severely underrated as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis.
@@JeffreyPengMD so what if your bone on bone with bone spurs would this still help you think I need TKR on my right knee and it feels like there’s a knife in there at times please give me your thoughts on this thanks
@@JeffreyPengMDI totally agree. Strength training has the potential to make a big improvement in pain. Certain exercises work.
I was fine until I gained some weight that’s when my arthritis began
Many people are the same way
I am vegan I will do other things
I disagree with your focus on weight loss. I am not overweight I need exercises to help with the pain and swelling.
